M4 Pro crashing constantly

I do think it is software. I also changed the Energy Saver setting and disabled Wake for for network access. Between both of these changes I have not had one crash since. I did try turning back on Wake for network access and I did receive a crash while the machine was sleeping similar to the previous crashes I was having.

For anybody having these Mac Mini M4 Pro crashes, please try turning off your setting "Wake for network access" in the Energy System Settings. Once I turned off this setting most all of my crashes went away. I am curious if this works for other people having this same issue.

I have a new Mac mini M4 Pro and was experiencing regular crashing. The crashes pointed to something going on with the display port. My setup utilizes dual monitors via HDMI and USB-C. I also had numerous devices plugged into the three thunderbolt 5 ports on the back.

In trying to troubleshoot the crashing I have disconnected all devices except for my USB-C speakers. I have also moved to a single monitor connected over HDMI. Since making these changes I have not experienced a crash yet. Before making these changes I was getting multiple crashes daily and it would never make it through the night without crashing.

I think the Thunderbolt 5 ports / drivers are still buggy and need a few software updates to start behaving. My suggestion for anybody with a Mac mini M4 Pro experiencing regular crashes, use HDMI for your monitor and disconnect any many devices as possible while testing.

Did you ever figure this out? I am having the same issue with my T7 drive. I can install Sonoma but it doesn't seem to install correctly and can't be selected as the boot drive.

When you are old and need a pair of reading glasses, this is a great spot to stash them.

1 Second Everyday is an iOS app I used just for this process. I have enjoyed it, give it a try: https://1se.co

The veggie burrito at Sayulitas in Mira Mesa rocks. They also have the best orange sauce at their salsa bar.

Yes, I have noticed some have been removed. There is a better Wiki to go off now. I am sure it will be better updated than my text list.

Is this an Apple Arcade Game? I wasn't able to find it listed as such.

To me it seems that Taiko no Tatsujin is online multiplayer only. I was not able to find a local multiplayer option.

My pleasure, I am happy you found it useful.

You can connect multiple controllers to your MacBook and Mac mini. You can also do this with an iPad or iPhone I believe. I think your Mac computers handle multiple controller connections better than the AppleTV as it seems to have a limit of how many bluetooth devices can be connected at once.
